Deck "B" in the Pioneer format of Magic: The Gathering be a mono-black control deck with some interesting synergies and a focus on disruption and draining the opponent's life total. The deck features a mix of removal spells like Fatal Push, Thoughtseize, Duress, Heartless Act, and Murderous Rider // Swift End to control the board and disrupt the opponent's game plan. One of the key cards in this deck is Gray Merchant of Asphodel, which can drain the opponent for a significant amount of life when you have a high devotion to black. Combined with Underworld Dreams and other cards that punish opponents for drawing cards, this deck aims to slowly chip away at the opponent's life total while disrupting their strategy. Gifted Aetherborn, Knight of the Ebon Legion, and Vampire of the Dire Moon provide some early pressure and lifegain to help stabilize against aggressive decks. Castle Locthwain and Sign in Blood can help draw into more gas and keep the cards flowing. However, the deck might struggle against fast aggro strategies that can go under its disruption and drain plan. It also lack some flexibility in dealing with a wide board of creatures, relying more on one-for-one removal spells. Overall, Deck "B" looks like a solid control deck with a unique focus on draining the opponent's life total and disrupting their hand. It has the potential to grind out longer games and outvalue the opponent with its card advantage engines.
